Etymology
From the past participle of 'zulassen' (to admit, to approve). 'Zu' can imply closing something, and 'lassen' is 'to let'. Think of it as letting something pass a closed gate.
Memory Tips
Picture a bouncer at a club. The door is 'zu' (closed). He 'lässt' (lets) you in. You are now 'zugelassen' (admitted).
